Gravel Road Maint.....BLADE vs. BOS SCRAPER??????

[murphy1244]

Yep...this.

A landplane is nice, if you want to spend the money for one. If you do decide to go the landplane route, be sure to get one with adjustable depth blades. For 3/4" gravel, the front blade set 3/8" below the skids and the rear blade set level with the skids works well.

That's exactly the way I do it with my Land Pride Land Plane Grader.

I found this info quite helpful for helping me decide what type of road grading gear to put on my wish list - the angle tilt & pitch can be a good thing for crowning & ditching nicely. Having said that my current dragalong will not will not do the fancy angling but will do more volume of dirt. Gunna post this in a couple of places cause I think its good info.

Thanks to all. SYSOP, you taught me something, I had never "tilted" my box scraper and that seems to be a good strategy. I had only pulled down the center with the box "level" this just knocked off the crown. Thanks again....
